THE MESSAGE
class="psalm-title"> A David Psalm Don't bother your head with braggarts or wish you could succeed like the wicked. In no time they'll shrivel like grass clippings and wilt like cut flowers in the sun. Get insurance with God and do a good deed, settle down and stick to your last. Keep company with God , get in on the best. Open up before God , keep nothing back; he'll do whatever needs to be done: He'll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval at high noon. Quiet down before God , be prayerful before him. Don't bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top. Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes—it only makes things worse. Before long the crooks will be bankrupt; God -investors will soon own the store. Before you know it, the wicked will have had it; you'll stare at his once famous place and—nothing! Down-to-earth people will move in and take over, relishing a huge bonanza. Bad guys have it in for the good guys, obsessed with doing them in. But God isn't losing any sleep; to him they're a joke with no punch line. Bullies brandish their swords, pull back on their bows with a flourish. They're out to beat up on the harmless, or mug that nice man out walking his dog. A banana peel lands them flat on their faces— slapstick figures in a moral circus. Less is more and more is less. One righteous will outclass fifty wicked, For the wicked are moral weaklings but the righteous are God -strong. God keeps track of the decent folk; what they do won't soon be forgotten. In hard times, they'll hold their heads high; when the shelves are bare, they'll be full. God-despisers have had it; God 's enemies are finished— Stripped bare like vineyards at harvest time, vanished like smoke in thin air. Wicked borrows and never returns; Righteous gives and gives. Generous gets it all in the end; Stingy is cut off at the pass. Stalwart walks in step with God ; his path blazed by God , he's happy. If he stumbles, he's not down for long; God has a grip on his hand. I once was young, now I'm a graybeard— not once have I seen an abandoned believer, or his kids out roaming the streets. Every day he's out giving and lending, his children making him proud. Turn your back on evil, work for the good and don't quit. God loves this kind of thing, never turns away from his friends. Live this way and you've got it made, but bad eggs will be tossed out. The good get planted on good land and put down healthy roots.

Contextual Overview
21 A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth; 22 For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off. 23 From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased: 24 Though he fall, he shall not be hurled headlong, For, Yahweh, is holding his hand. 25 Young, have I been, moreover am old, - Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread: 26 All day long, is he showing favour and lending, his seed, therefore, shall have a blessing. 27 Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age-abiding. 28 For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age-abiding, have the perverse been destroyed, - and the seed of the lawless, been cut off. 29 The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon. 30 The mouth of a righteous man, softly uttereth wisdom, and, his tongue, speaketh justice:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The righteous shall inherit the land - See Psalms 37:3. The word “inherit” suggests the idea that they are heirs, and that God will treat them as His children.
And dwell therein forever - Psalms 37:3, Psalms 37:18, Psalms 37:27.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 37:29. The righteous shall inherit the land — If this be not another promise of return to their own land, from that of their captivity, it must be spiritually understood, and refer to their eternal dwelling with God in glory.
